So, is that 2, rail cars or 2-rail cars?
Unclear. Tinplate flanges? Clueless, but it gets better.

How many of these does it take to get to 6'1", anyway?

It's from a $99 kids play set. Plastic track, battery operated, a basic remote. Track/gauge is not aligned with anything else including "G".
Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.

That's what happens when you get lazy and accept the autofill functions of eBay instead of actually paying attention to what you are doing.

Re: Funny...but you gotta look.
and..when you look it up and are very selective on what you read and retain:
https://www.lionelstore.com/The-Polar-E ... et-7-11803
Light and sound...off the batteries in the locomotive only. And since this is 2 rail cars (or in this case, plastic 2-rail cars) there is no lights and sound.
If you scroll down in that link, you see where the 73" came from:
Gauge: Ready-to-Play
Dimensions: 50" x 73" oval of Ready-to-Play track
Est. Ship Date: 9/18/2020
But, hey, good for repaint and re-lettering for you railroad. Got knuckles that might work. Sure looks like New Blight trucks, but those are LS. But, they also used 2 rail black plastic track.
I wonder if ready-to-play is #1 gauge?
The 50" wide is about what R-1 is in Large Scale.
I'm thinking New Blight made these for Lionel.

Re: Funny...but you gotta look.
Any more...yeah.
New Bright (referred to locally as "New Blight") uses some other names to distance manufacturing from consumer awareness. I literally throw the stuff away. No redeeming social value. Couple of months ago, engine, tender, cars and plastic track all went into the dumpster. I have given the stuff away.
The square plate holding the wheels and axles into the truck are indicative.
The one thing I have used, and still looking for one more, is the tank cars. Trucks and frame go into the same previously described dumpster, but my outdoor railroad uses locomotive fuel oil tanks....made up of old Aristo water tower bases and legs, re-purposed, with one of these tanks on top.

Re: Funny...but you gotta look.
Can't understand the appeal of The Poldark Express. I've tried watching it twice. By the time the kid was on the train, I was asleep. I'd rather watch the commercial for the Rick and Morty Story Train a hundred times, rather than be condemned to suffer that turd again.

If they cut the last 9/10s of the movie, it would be too long. It makes you want to watch Gallagher smash watermelons. It's the cinematic equivalent of chloroform.
